New Car

So we all know that Danny killed handa the Honda in an accident a couple of months ago. So we are proud to announce that we have finally welcomed a new addition to our family. This is Danny's new love, a Nissan Altima that he has wanted for quite some time.

Trying to get crafty

So I got a sewing machine for christmas from my awesome hubby and I've gotten into this whole new craft kick. So basically I look for any excuse I can get to try to express my creative ability....which isn't that much right now, but I hope to improve with experience and further training. I made this first quilt for a little girl in our ward, she is so stinkin cute and she is definitely one of my favorites

Next was a quilt for one of Danny's marine corp. friends who recently had a baby boy. It was working out o.k. until I realized that the patch became off center when I sewed the quilt together... but oh well. I learned from it and now I'll do better next time.

And lastly, Danny and I got invited to a fun superbowl party so I decided to make a football cake! We got the pan for our wedding and I was excited to finally use it.
Next is another baby quilt for one of our manager's who has a baby on the way. And then it's off to finishing off putting things together around the house, which is coming along pretty well if I say so myself - thank you Better Home and Gardens.

Well, its been a while so I guess that it is time that we share our Christmas with you. Chelsea and I had the opportunity to travel out to California and spend the Holidays with her family. We got there a few days before Christmas and I had the joy of learning the traditions of my new family. Puzzles, Movies and much much more. He had so much fun enjoying the great weather and the fantastic shopping, we even had time to go and hit a session at the San Diego Temple and just sit back and enjoy each others company. And don't worry we made it back in time for more snow and more, and more. Here we also had a chance to go and see Darth Vader at the Lego store and yes he is all Lego's it was sweet. Above that pic is us so darn happy that we just found some sweet Carmel apples, they were so good.
